Up for sale, a 2017 Fender Traditional ‘60s Jazz Bass in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A Fender Japan exclusive model uncommon outside its country of origin, the Traditional series instruments are the latest “Made in Japan” iterations, adhering closely to vintage spec.
The bridge pickup has the power, burp, and presence that ensures a Jazz Bass cuts through in ensemble situations, and it's easy to dial in the right amount of midrange growl and fundamental thump (particularly with the Tone knob rolled back to taste), with a wide array of tonalities achievable via various blend of the two single coils. This Jazz Bass weighs 8lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with the factory 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action and accurate intonation.
